Chelsea Clinton and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, are in contract to buy a $10.5 million apartment in The Whitman, at 21 East 26th St.
Come June, NoMad residents will be keeping up with the Clintons.
Chelsea Clinton and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, are buying a sleek, $10.5 million apartment overlooking Madison Square Park, sources said.
The Whitman, first built in 1924, is near the couple's current place, a rented loft in Gramercy Park.
The 5,000-square-foot pad, in The Whitman at 21 E. 26th St., is just a few blocks from the couple's rented Gramercy Park loft. Sources said staying nearby was a top priority for the pair.
Last Sunday, Clinton, 33, and her husband, 35, planned to take a hush-hush tour of the New Georgian-style pre-war with her parents, former President Bill Clinton and ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Sources said the couple arranged a private tour of the building with Clinton's parents last Sunday and were surprised to find hardhats at work on a gut renovation. The former first family happily posed for pictures and shook hands.

But when they showed up, the building was swarming with construction workers, a source said.
The former first family wasn't ruffled, though, and shook hands and posed for pictures with the awestruck workers, the source said.
The four-bedroom, five-and-a-half bath spread is on the second floor and features oak floors, Italian marble bathrooms and elevator access.

The bathrooms are Italian marble, and the building features a gym and an elevator. Clinton and Mezvinsky were impressed by the quiet block and tight security, a source said.

The living room has views of the north end of Madison Square Park, and there is a private gym downstairs.
A number of A-listers, including Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez, toured the digs before the Clintons and Mezvinsky jumped on it, a real estate source said. 
Clinton and her husband are set to close on the apartment in June.
Clinton and Mezvinsky liked the block's quiet vibe and tight security.
"It's a rare opportunity to live in a pre-war building with high ceiling and park views," a broker who has toured the building told the News.
The couple is set to close on the apartment in June.
The apartment was listed by two of Douglas Elliman's top brokers, Melanie Lazenby — whose father George played James Bond in one film — and Dina Lewis.
If Chelsea and Whatsisface aren’t closing on the place until June, that isn’t their decor; it’s the sellers’. (And I agree, it’s ugly.) Maybe they’ll have Hillary help them fix it up. You remember her lovely taste from their White House residence.
oh i agree it’s the sellers, but it’s new renovation per the story, and they aren’t paying 10.5 million to tear a new renovated apt down and rebuild it. they are buying it with the decor as is. and most liberals like the scandinavian style that this is.
No, it wouldn't work. Her secret service detail would provide too much security for an obama embassy.
Good points.
I think Ikea stuff is okay for bookshelves and like that. We’re going to be rearranging computers this summer, and we’ll probably get some of their units instead of “random donated desk.” Takes up less space.
yeah, i mean it’s as personal-looking as a hospital foyer. and to that end it’s probably the perfect place for them and their supposed marriage.
webb hubbell’s cocaine and pig future’s racket.
Where did she get the money? No, not for the pad, that’s pocket change, for the extensive plastic surgery!

well, I looked in my ‘crystal ball’ and it comes up with the following for 2016
Moochelle PRES
Maxine Waters VP
Pelosi Spk of House
Feinstein Senate Majority Leader
I woke up from the nightmare and figured that is probably a good possibility especially if the R’s don’t run the ‘perfect man’ and the ‘R’s stay home...keep it up and the D’s won’t even have to fix elections anymore.
No worries, the GOP is warming up Jeb now. What could go wrong?
Did she get the monney from cattle futures like her mom?
Pass that button when you’re finished, and hurry!
No. Frugal Chelsea saved her money at the jobs provided by wealthy Progressive firms and tucked it away in high-paying (0.7%) CDs.
Before you knew it: voila! Little Chelsea, who could have been just another piece of Arkancide trash, was able to buy a $10 million luxury residence in the tax collector’s paradise.
Chelsea saves a lot of money due to the fact that her entertainment budget is so low. Shortly after a few drinks and appetizers she barfs it all up...usually inside a taxi where she not only saves the money spent on an entire evening of food and booze, but the taxi driver is anxious to get rid of her and dumps the boozy Chelsea in front of her digs for free.
They probably don’t like each other very much. She may be taking after her infamous dyky mother.
Not to worry. Their years of deceit, conniving and mayhem paid off so well that their millions will carry their only child (Bill has fathered enough bastards to populate Little Rock) through to her dreams. They even bought her a Jewish prince.
Poor Mark. His father's a Jewish crook and his in-laws are gentile crooks who have left a trail of bodies that would stretch from Little Rock to Hope in their wake.
Now that Chelsea is 33 and apparently barren there will be no little Medvinskys to carry on the family name.
No mazel tov for this ill-fated couple.
Heh; grab it anytime you want/ need it.
